Update: before I even updated my build thread to the most current state of the van, I sold it... oops. They’ll be another sprinter in the future.

To the stock floors. Baltic birch would provide no tangible benefit over the stock floor in this application, and would also take up more height which would eat into your overall standing height. I’m 6’2” so I just barely fit under a Sprinter’s roof standing up. If I was building cabinets...

Well, thank ya! I made a small modification to it already... added the DoneRightLED Brawlee RGB light for the lift glass (also, I think the "Brawlee" name is terrible for the record. If the guy from DoneRightLED ever reads this, please know that I love your product, but man that name is just...

Gotta love the UMV J30 (Unit #50) :sunglasses:

I’m sorry - while it doesn’t matter what you drive - the tagline of that article is an absolute farce, especially in the context of Moab. “This lightly-modded Subaru does everything you'd ask of a Wrangler, and looks awesome doing it.” Im surprised R&T even allowed the writer to run with such...

I wrote an article about SAR cards and insurance... it’s still in the “submit a boot camp article for review section,” and it seems like a lot of other articles are as well... not sure what’s going on with the approval process lately. At any rate it can be found here: The Importance of Search...

@rubicongoldberg I also run @rubiconoverland if you enjoy the Jeep Wrangler as an overland platform.

The crew at White River Overland finished up their part of the build quickly and with skill...

Alright, I've been on a bit of a Jeep hiatus as I started to focus on the Sprinter build (which I also need to update). However, the Jeep needed a little work to get in shape for our yearly guys' overlanding trip. I hadn't been driving the Jeep much, just around town really, and I had been...

Well, if I had to do it all over again (and I might), I would go with the Ursa Minor J30 (but it's about twice the cost of my current setup). Capability off-road so far hasn't been impacted, but I haven't gone back to Moab with the tent setup, so who knows how it will do there. The MetalCloak...

This is great information! Thanks! I will try to get it combined into the main post!

Hey Folks, OB1375 here. Got locked out of the forums a bit due to a little issue with 2-factor auth (If you are about to get a new phone, turn 2-factor auth OFF first, or you'll have the same issue I did). I have a place in Denver, but you'll rarely find me there :tongueclosed:

I’m not only referring to the Grand Canyon; I’ve heard / read about costs of SAR operations being passed on to those that were in the situation due to recklessness in a multitude of different locations.

I’ve also read / heard about costs being passed on when someone needed to be rescued from a situation that was caused by recklessness.

I started another thread on the importance of SAR cards and insurance, but the short answer is “it depends.” It depends on where you are, and it also depends on your circumstances, etc. I don’t have the link to the other thread handy at the moment, but I’ll try to dig it up and cross post it here.

That teepee setup is cool. If I was going to do any serious cold weather / winter ground tent camping, I'd look into that with a stove. Otherwise, I would go with the Gazelle T4 Hub Tent... quick setup, quick takedown, and OB members get a price break on it as well... I think it's under $250 for...
